If you’re not positive that you’re head over heels in love with ONE school or the other, don’t apply ED to either.

Applying RD to both is normal. No reason not to!

Judging by the tone of your post, Pomona sounds like a better fit for you. It will in no way curtail your leadership opportunities, nor the quality of your government education. That said, you’re correct in that CMC definitely sounds well-tailored to your interests. While wakebrdr’s comments are a little unfair, your concerns about the social scene are definitely not unfounded. If you get another chance, I’d definitely recommend spending the night on CMC’s campus (preferably on a Thurs., which gives you a good cross-section between academic and social life on campus).
